The Trail Ridge Quilters are putting the finishing touches on many beautiful handmade quilted creations which they will display and sell at their annual tea and sale to be held on Tuesday, November 10, 2015 from 11 am to 2 pm, in the Longs Peak and Meeker Conference Rooms at Estes Park Medical Center. The sale is open to the general public.

Featured at this sale will be Baby and children's quilts, wall hangings, placemats, seasonal items, table toppers, cloth children's books, purses, potholders, small gift items, and much more. “We are excited for everyone to see the many items we have for sale this year,” said Jeanne Allen, member of the Trail Ridge Quilters. “These items make great gifts for any occasion.”

The Trail Ridge Quilters were originally formed as a Newcomer's Interest Group and was a way for members to get together to share a common interest and a love of quilting. Their common purpose and goal is to raise monies for the medical center. The first year, they raised $300. In 2010, they funded a total of $5,150 that was used towards items requested by various departments at the medical center. In 2011, they had a great year and presented Estes Park Medical Center with a check in the amount of $8,650. In 2012, they raised $9,300 and in 2014 - $11,566.24. Various departments at EPMC submitted applications to the quilters to be considered for funding for use in enhancing patient care.
